Crime And Punishment

 

Time and isolation are recorded by names and dates. To scratch your name in the Yuma Territorial Prison gave you a sad immortality.

Inmates must have been housed in these crowded cells and put in single cells for purposes of isolation and punishment. It was not easy time, by any stretch.
